Officials announced that all affected games will be rescheduled for Tuesday, June 9, allowing teams additional preparation time while ensuring safe playing conditions after the storm.
In the Class 2A Peru Supersectional, Brimfield/Elmwood will meet Ottawa Marquette at 5 p.m. at St. Bede’s campus, while in the Class 1A DeKalb Supersectional, Putnam County takes on Galena at 3:30 p.m. on the campus of Northern Illinois University.

Meanwhile, the Class 1A Bloomington Supersectional will see Tremont face Armstrong at 6 p.m. on the grounds of Illinois Wesleyan University.
The Illinois High School Association coordinated the relocations with host institutions, confirming that each venue is equipped to accommodate the revised schedule. Fans and players alike are eager to see how the teams will perform under the new conditions.
